This is quite a film. It's graphic and not for the faint of heart, but nothing here is gratuitous. This film is =about= something. See it. It provides no easy answers.

while THE DARK AT THE END marinates, I began working on tweaking REPRISAL for its TPB release next year. Just reached the Christmas Week sequence in the flashback and had to stop. Had a hard time writing that and still have a hard time reading it. Might be the most upsetting thing I've ever written.

I just watched this movie called Blood Creek on dvd. It reminded me a little of the Adversary cycle due to an unusual runestone in the basement with ungodly powers. I'd probably give it 3 stars, not outstanding but worth watching.

Today I saw Salt.

I want to say something about this movie, but even single words will be spoiler. So, I can't explain the details. :crossedlips:

If you like spy movie, I recommend this.This spy thriller may be preposterous, but it's entertaining good action flick.

just finished the final scene for the concluding novel of the Repairman Jack series. The novel's not done yet - still have to go back and do plastic surgery (many augmentations and reductions) - but a first-pass draft is in memory and backed up in 3 places. It's got its own big finish that segues into NIGHTWORLD. Kind of bitter sweet.

In the field of Black Comedy, the transition from Steppin Fetchit and Blackface routines was replaced by a new breed of comics that preceded Richard Pryor and Flip Wilson. There was the Tuxedoed Timmie "Oh Yeahhh" Rogers, whose humor touched on political and social issues and appealed to all races. He was a staple on the Jackie Gleason Show, Dom De Luise, Ed Sullivan, and other popular tv fare of the Sixties. Here's a clip from youtube. I was lucky enough to grow up on this man's humor. If you catch all the allusions in his routine, your age is showing.

Has anybody ever seen a special binding copy of "The Touch" published by Hodder & Stoughton for sale?

It has been mentioned as the most rare edition of an F. Paul Wilson book and it has piqued my interest. I have nearly all of his limited edition books and even some strange and obscure appearances in my collection, but this one has eluded me.

Hey, it's my birthday today. I have to do SOMETHING besides work in my office!!!!

Just saw this last night with my Westport friends, Bob and his daughter Alexandra.

A mightily entertaining flick, but surely =not= the Holmes and Watson of the Canon.

Near the end, where the evil Lord tries to poison Parliament by gas, and Irene Adler foils him...
"Well, that's what can happen when you don't have a tech rehearsal."

And the ah-deer that you can administer a pre-inhalization antidote to cyanide...
"Oh, Miguel, let's have a little suspension of disbelief here."
"Roberto, a Stuyvesant man might say that. Certainly not a Bronx Science man!"

I was saddened last night watching Highlander with my son. I thought it sucked. I liked it when it first came out but wasn't as gaga about as most seemed to be. I watched it another time ages ago but seeing it last night was painful; the fight scenes were terrible, the special effects lame and Christopher Lambert makes Keanu Reaves look like he can act. Clancy Brown and Sean Connery were decent but I found the rest of the movie completely lacking. Not to mention I discovered that the director was Russell Mulcahy who has gone on to become a cheap imitator of a director.

Anyone else been disappointed by a memory of movie being better than what it was recently?

Hey all. I am nearing the conclusion of The Tomb and am getting a pretty clear image of the rokoshi in my head. I couldn't find any fan art, so I decided to make my own. I just started a basic mesh with a fairly basic material in 3ds Max and I am planning to make a 15kish polygon mesh with full bump and diffuse textures. Right now I only have a couple hundred polygons forr the torso, legs, arms, and feet. When I get the proportions right, I'll smooth the mesh with Nurms and have a lot more control over detail. I'll update with renders of progress(with Nurms, so it'll look smooth, but not much detail).

Feedback and suggestions are much, much appreciated. Everybody has their own idea of the rokoshi and I'd like to get something that everyone is satisfied with. I'm working off of descriptions such as "parady of humanity" and the face being a cross between humanoid and shark-like features. Three claws and humanoid, but disproportionate. I'm going to start using human anatomy and twist it a bit as the book describes. I'll try the same process as the Hindu gods.
